Look like wide to me. You only get thin belts on later type (Post 59A) pumps.

Just read your thread, don't know how I missed it. Seems like you lucked out from the get go and have there one fine flathead. What are you putting it in. I didn't see any info on that.

LS,
Thanks for taking the time to share this project with us. Never having taken a flathead apart, I really appreciate seeing what you did with yours and reading all the accompanying posts.

Walt Dupont--Me. · 07-31-2014, 02:31 PM

LSJUNIPER, very nice job. I love it. What are you using for a cam? Stock or performance? Where did you get the carbs? Do you know what the jets and power valves size are? I'm full of questions. Thanks Walt

LOOKS GREAT, and your pulleys are wide belt, as is proper for your flathead! Gary

sam03 · 07-31-2014, 03:03 PM

wow just read through the thread. Great work! I hope the flathead i'm getting this weekend is a good one.

sidevalve8ba · 07-31-2014, 03:15 PM

I really like this build. What are you planning to put this engine in when you finish?

LSJUNIPER · 08-02-2014, 08:21 PM

Thanks for all the interest and compliments. The cam is an Isky, 77B, mild cam...the carbs are from Speedway Motors, its there Super 7 Carbs. I purchased there kit. It comes with the carbs and the intake. I am going to put the motor in a 29A frame I also purchased from Speedway. A friend of mine used to make frames for dragsters, he is going to weld it up for me on his frame table.I am not sure what I am going to put on the frame as far as a body. I really would like to put a modal A coupe body on the frame, but I am finding out that they are hard to come by. I have thought of putting a 1946 ford truck body on the frame...We will see when I get there....

I have a question. If I use the original flywheel and mate up a T-5 trans will I need to use a ball bearing in the center bore like the one I removed?

I am using a pilot bushing in my T-5 installation but there are those who use a bearing like yours. I feel sure we will get comments either for or against.

LSJUNIPER · 01-10-2015, 05:38 AM

OK, Thanks sidevalve8ba...

In your first photo I noticed a chain hoist. I fabricated a couple of straps and bolted them to #1 and 5 exhaust ports and used a hoist to stabilize the front of my 8BA until I can make a side exhaust plate for my stand. Cheap peace of mind.

YES, Speedway has the right piolet bearing, fits the Ford flywheel and the T-5 shaft. Walt

Just saw this long thread - great project and congrats on building a flathead . . . love it! You sure have learned a lot along the way and I'm sure you'll be one happy camper when you get to start it and hear it run.
